Question posted in the General Law category relating to Gauteng

My Daughter is in grade 1 and last week her teacher asked if she could give my number to one of the parents of one of her freinds as they play toghter. I gave my number and said it is fine. On Monday I received a call from the friends father asking me to please tell my daughter to leave their child alone during class and to tell her to stop making fun of their surname, they have spoken to her but is now asking me. I asked my daughter if and when this friend's mother or father ever spoken to her and she confirmed it was just before the school bell rang on Friday for school to start infront of her class. She said that the freind's mommy told her to stop hurting her daughter. I had a meeting with the teacher on Monday who was very surpised to hear what have happened as she said that my daughter is not an aggresive child at all and that the two always plays at school. This was also reported to the School Principle, whom said that he will contact the parents and get back to me. At this time, he has not contacted me yet and my daughter is now asking the question with extreme confusion, will this friends mother come and speak to me again, obviously stressed about the situation that occured.

My question is; How do I proceed with this in a legal manner towards the friend's parents. I want to ask them why they confronted my daugter without us the parents or the teacher being present and also why lie to the teacher to get hold of my number and not ask the teacher or principle to assist with this?
